- The Stig’s secret subterranean lair is the perfect place to make a lot of noise with a lot of noisy cars. Welcome to Top Gear Tunnel Run.
In the forth episode of our series, our tame racing driver welcomes what is still the quickest Caterham you can buy, and the most powerful Caterham ever built.
It’s a Caterham Seven 620R, and although it was launched way back in 2013, it does 0-62 in just 2.7 seconds... in first gear. And the exhaust pokes out right under the driver, sounds like a supersonic hornet and sometimes it spits fire.
Join The Stig, and host Becky Evans, to hear this little firecracker in action…

I'm loving the concept of the mic on the back. It's a very very good layout to track test them for the series. Perfect choice of cars. Love the whole ideas you've drawn to make all the circus happen! What a great space for it. It's the most wonderful position for invigorating a racing scene. Can remember watching Becky on the Red Bull in the WRC and the Irish WRC. She looked in reality like a racing driver in that BRM! She really did. She should start the race car for the Stig before his lap!
Fast or fast !? I will rather drive a car at a 100mph that feels like 200mph and have fun that drive a car at 200mph that feels like 100mph !
NO ! I do NOT share the excitement of the nose ! But the car in normal road specs with 13" wheels is nice. The new EV version must be a real joy to drive for us who have tinnitus.
@cameraprepper7938 If that's for me doesn't really make much difference, they're both the same to me, fast is fast right. As long as it's fast there's awe inspiration in it. Yeah awesome Becky, she looks really serious in these machines! Still whatever the weather I don't think these stooges actually look at their comment section. Us, you near a couple😴.
Time for a tunnel run of the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 V12 at 11,500 RPM!
It revs 12300rpm
The valkyrie is on the way..
@@bjj-vl2ut12,100 but close enough…
@@gurkpojken LeMans edition A.K.A AMR pro* but who cares 😂📧
I used to own a Caterham and if I ever had to work at the weekend in the city (London) my journey took me through the tunnels under the railway at London Bridge. I loved flooring the loud pedal and setting off all the car alarms as I raced through before driving up towards old Bailey and being the subject of tourists photos at the traffic lights. I miss my old seven.
It's a wise choice to call Becky! Hope to see her more often as well as Rob ❤❤❤
Can't wait to hear that v12 from the s600
Ahh the stig. I did a track day a few years ago with 3 different super cars and 2 laps with the Stig driving me in an arial atom. Absolutely brilliant fun, and he/she kept in character the whole time.
That's a great sounding 4 pot if I have ever seen one!
Everything sounds good in a tunnel like that, best 4 cilinder I ever heard (not in a tunnel) was a Lotus exige s2.
The supercharger makes them sound angry (and loud). Have got a supercharged K20 style one of these ^^^ its' insanely good sounding, and insanely loud.
I'm still grinning like a dumb kid watching these surround sound tunnel runs, and I just turned 49. 🤣
Appreciated the Catraham mini back story.
That is one sick 4cyl!
HOT DANG
I'm loving this series and it's well presented. 🙂
This series is epic!
Taking a car thorugh a top secret tunnel. Has to be my favorite episode of the Grand Tour
Oh man this new series is beautiful🙌🏼
Gran Turismo 8 needs to record the veichles in there ✅
Q: How many "yeses" do you want?
A: Yes.
That downshift right before the camera was perfect, thanks Stig!
How about a motorcycle next… in-line 4, v-twin, v4, triple 🔊
Mmmm .... nahh, thanks
straight six
Honda CBX 😵💫
K7 GSXR1000
Rsv4 would sound absurdly good
This feels like classic Top Gear
James may is probably having nightmares 😂
ok this is actually cool
Stig has all the benefits of the batcave w/o any of the stress and responsibilities.
Great Effort By Everybody @ The TopGear Team. This Caterham Seven 620R was the best of the lot in producing the best engine sound.
Keep up the Good work TG. Umair Saif from Pakistan.
Best??? No way... Worst one so far.
@@martynrollinson Definitely the best one 👍 5 decibels louder than than the Huracan as well.
@MartynRollinson
Are you one of them that just hates on british cars? To say this is the worst one I'd hate to see what your idea of good it 😛
That was mind blowing my goodness it was suporved great experience so Loudon my ears still have a vibration even after the show was ending so amazingly thank you TOP GEAR thank you STIG and thank you car industry for making so wonderful cars ❤❤❤
I'm sorry but thank you Becky ❤❤❤❤
Damn just danm what a vid and editing ❤
This is my all time favorite car!!!!!!!!
Having worked for Caterham as a contractor, I was lucky enough to see the first of these cars rolling off the production line in 2013/14...
Can confirm they are LOUD as hell with the side pipe on and they go like stink.
There was a test at Brand's Hatch indy track on a trackday evening which i was at. The test car was sent out with a certain British GT champ whom promptly started dropping laptimes into the 51-52 second time.. where as everything else that night was doing around a 1.05 lap time 🤣 they are truely bonkers little machines.
Jon Barnes?
@@vaavee4410 yup
AMAZING!
THAT SOUND 👌 😫
Music to my senses.
This is ace!.
Can you imagine blowing a tire at full send in a tunnel? Crazy
Thank you
GMA T.50 and Zonda please
We need to see that aston martin valkyrie amr pro asap 🔥🔥
Need to hear the hellcat whine in this tunnel omg🛐🛐
these are the videos we want
All that sound coming from a Turbo 4 cylinder Ford Duratec, we for sure going to miss a lot when ICEs are gone.
love the license plate the replica was nice
Formula 1 should do a showcase race with all 20 drivers given identical 620Rs (save for the livery, of course). 10 laps of Monaco anyone?
Give Todero a call to bring the famous Guzzi V8 to the tunnel.
Six cylinder Hondas or MVs of the sixties .
And a Big Block CanAm racer to destroy the walls 🤯
Juicy!!! 💥
I'd love to hear the GMA T.50 here.
For the Neumann KU100 recording be sure to crank the MacBook volume to "11."
“Lego Cat”😂😂😂
How am I just finding this series
Cizeta V16T would be great !!!
Two lovers, forbidden from one another
A war divides their people
And a mountain divides them apart
Built a path to be together
"Yeah, and I forget the next couple lines
But uh, then it goes"
Secret tunnel!!! (Oh)
Secret tunnel!!! (Oh)
Through the mountain
Secret, secret, secret, secret
Secret tunnel (Oh-oh)
Secret tunnel (Oh-oh)
Through thе mountain (Woah-oh-oh)
Secret, secrеt, secret, secret tunnel, yeah
Oh I remember the last part! 'And die...'
In this series, the current leader board for me is:
1: BRM V16
2: Audi Group B
3: Caterham (tough call between this and the Group B)
4: Lambo
SECRET TUNNELLL TROOUUGH THE MOUNTAINSS
unleash the bees!!!
my neighbors Honda at 3am.
Whisper in my ear like that again I'm gonna have to come find you... 🥵
Creepy
Super geil
Stig: * hits first set of downshifts
Me: Oh okay, so that’s how long the tunnel is.
STIG: *Pins it
Me: Oh
Stig: *2nd time downshifting
Me: Wow holy moly that’s a long tunnel!
Stig: * pins it AGAIN
Me: ….. oh
Insert "Monkey_Sony_Walkman.gif"
When are you going to do the Valkyrie video?🤔
Meu deus coloquem uma T.50 nesse tunel 🙌
That car is as mad as a box frogs 😧
Looks like a RC car , so where is this tunnel 😅
Need Mazda 787 in there !
I need new pants now.. Oh my jesus god.
Send a funny car down the tunnel!!!!!!
This car sometimes sounds like 4 rotary engine especially when it revs up the first time
my ears are like butter with wax on a dogs tail with honey swagging around, AND I, have to lick / slobber te GOODNESS with PROPPER Excitement.!!
Bluddy-hell that is GOOD STUFF!!!
No way they spent millions on digging tunnel only for that 😮
Yup 😊
Its an old railway line tunnel
All tax deductible 😂
@@danielhillier7417 that makes sense
In the first episode they explain the history of the tunnel
311÷545= 0.57 It's 570 horsepower, not 500 horsepower. It has more horsepower per ton than 765lt.
Yeah, hard to argue with maths!
Big fan of these videos...
Like a Shelby Cobra, but less exposed
Well, I do NOT share the excitement of the nose ! But the car in normal road specs with 13" wheels is nice. The new EV version must be a real joy to drive for us who have tinnitus.
There is no substitute for a quick 7, you can forget your lardy Fezza’s, Pokers & Lambo’s. Btw, it’s called a 620 because it has 620 BHP per tonne. The R500 had only 200BHP.
I want one. :D
They should put a MK4 in the tunnel
This looks like The Boring Company tunnels in Las Vegas that Tesla's go through.
Waiting for the s600 vid😂
I have always enjoyed the car and the philosophy that is the light weight caterham/lotus! that being said, that 7500 rpm redline isnt doing this car any favors as far as sounds go lol. as blaphpamous as it is to say.....this could use a high reving honda, would sound just as good...can get just as much hp. a k20 all motor build....or due to the light weight nature as is, it opens up a world of neater swaps....bike engines of any kind would be cool. 1L 300hp bike motor that hits 15k ??
Max 7700rpm
Anybody at TG got Rob Dahm's number? Quad Rotor in there would be wicked!
Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 pleeeeeease!
where's the LFA?
Why no telemetry?
Angry, angry bees
Tungston Stig tunnel edition
Can we hurry up to the Merc V12 video please?
Chiron Tunnel Run
If Catesby Tunnel is a secret why do I know about it?
Number 6 drove one.
Looking forward to the nascar episode
Who else skips to the tunnel run directly?😅
When you think the girl would finally shut up...but nope. :(
Why didn’t they format the new top gear after this
Bin there don that
👌
We remembered that car from the 21st series of the show.
You should do a Tesla. Wind and tire noise only.
This woman looks like something out of the Munsters.
Am i the only one that thinks this is batshit, haven’t watched a full episode but the first crash ill be lock in
It's got very boring in my opinion.
The number plate not being straight is triggering my OCD…
Year
Ciao♾️
but does it do the #mga
Lancia Delta s4
Fast or fast !? I will rather drive a car at a 100mph that feels like 200mph and have fun that drive a car at 200mph that feels like 100mph !
Thanks @TopGear as Se7ens & tunnels do indeed go together like strawberries & cream😋👍🏻 However, may I be so bold to suggest I think you may’ve missed a trick🤔
For a sheer, euphonic, four-pot symphony on enclosed bitumen, the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s 7 variants fitted with the old school Cosworth BDR ‘mill’ on twin Webber DCOE carb induction would, IMHO, be like comparing the current F1 power units to the classic 3.5Ltr V10’s. 👉🏻🥰👈🏻
If you’d like to compare, just ask😉
